Profiling resilience: A latent profile analysis of German nurses' coping and resilience.

Introduction: Because of the shortage of nurses, it becomes crucial for organizations and health systems to keep nurses in their workforce. As individual resilience is positively associated with organizational commitment and negatively with mental disorders, it may reduce nurses' intention to leave the profession. Thus, individual resilience gained attention in research.

Lobe-wise assessment of lung volume and density distribution in lung transplant patients and value for early detection of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome.

Purpose: To evaluate quantitative computed tomography (CT) measurements of the lung parenchyma in lung transplant (LTx) patients for early detection of the bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS).

Materials And Methods: 359 CT scans of 122 lung transplant patients were evaluated. Measurements of lung volume and density were performed for the whole lung and separately for each lobe.

Lipid metabolism in pigs fed beef tallow or high-oleic acid sunflower oil.

The objectives of this study were to establish the effects of high-oleic sunflower oil (HOSO) and beef tallow on tissue fatty acids and stearoyl-CoA desaturase activities in swine; and to compare effects of HOSO and tallow on swine plasma triglycerides and lipoprotein-cholesterol fractions. Sixteen gilts were divided into two groups: eight fed a control diet containing 10 g/100 g beef tallow, and eight fed a diet containing 10 g/100 g HOSO. Plasma samples were obtained before feeding began and at 4 weeks and 8 weeks of dietary treatment.
